amour " for the fatness of her soil and the folly of her gentlemen." We heartily hope that no barrenness has befallen the land ; and that the gentlemen are flourish ing in the style alluded to by Mr. Escott is clear enough from the speeches of Messrs. Sanford, Tynte, Labouchere, Lee Lee, and, last not least, Sir Thomas Lethbridge. The worthy and consistent Baronet, though the dinner was given to the County Member of West Somerset, was so devoted to the " powers that be," that after the health of the Roya l Family, he proposed the health of his Majesty's Ministers, whom he exhorted to "look with a firm face upon the people." This called up Mr. Labouchere, who, after puffing the Government measures, informed the meeting that it was not in his power to "withdraw the veil from frit turity," but added that he knew " enough of the lead int,° members of the Administration to say that, when they found that they could not hold office with honour to themselves and benefit to the empire, they would not continue to retain it for an hour." We pretend to no more power of withdrawing the veil from the future than the Right Hon. Gentleman, but we know enough of the leading members of the present Government to say, that closing one eye to their own honour (if they have any), and the other to the benefit of the empire, they will keep tight hold of place till they are contume- ' liously turned out—as, indeed, Lord Melbourne him self declared at the close of the last Session. The speeches of the two county members, Messrs. Sanford and Tynte, would not justify one word of re mark, had they not blundered on the question of the Re form in the Lords, both declaring to an assembly of Whig- Radicals that they shrunk from that extreme measure. The disapprobation manifested at this gave the cue to a " whole-hog" man, Mr. Leader, the. Member for Bridgewater. This worthy left nothing for the most rampant Radical to desire. His speech was of the true O'Connellite character, compounded of disgusting abuse, and of more disgusting bombast. And the temper of this meeting of the Reformers of West Somerset may be estimated, when we say that this sp ec i men o f I r i s h e l oquence b roug h t th e patriots present on their legs at its close, and the Hon. Gentleman was greeted with " enthusiastic and long -continued applause." Of his diatribe against the Lords we shall only say, that it was more stupid and vulgar than such exhibitions usually are. He first told his hearers that the House of Lords was a " many-headed despot ; " next, that it was " Lord Lyndhurst's tail ; " then, that it was a body which had " challenged the nation to mortal combat ; " and lastly, that the said body was " irresponsible, and had a selfish narrow interest diametrically opposed to the interests of the people." Having so often, arid indeed no later than yesterday, disposed of this flimsy charge of irresponsibility and exclusive interests brought against the Lords, we shall not go over the same ground again in reply to this Radical spouter. Yet few things in this world are ut terly worthless. Even the speech of Mr. Leader, at the West Somerset dinner, is so far valuable, as it gives evidence of the split in the faction, which the Whig-Radical journals themselves from day to day are beginning more faintly to deny. Here we have a muster of the whole Whig-Radical force of one divi sion of a great county assembled under the soothing influence of a comfortable dinner, yet their unanimity cannot last throughout one short evening, but the fainting spirit of Whiggcry is made to quail before the furious onslaught of Radicalism. Vainly may a few feeble voices attempt to prevent the approaching dis severance, by pointing out the impossibility of either division of the party opposing the respectable portion of the community single-handed. The faction is un controllably hastening to its doom. We may observe, that Messrs. Sanford and Tynte, the two county mem bers, have both a large landed stake in Somersetshire, and are opposed to any tampering with the Peerage. Mr. Leader, who is fur proclaiming, " in tones of thunder, to the startled cars of the Lords, that they must be aroused from their dream of pride and fancied power," is member for the borough of Bridgewater, with which, we believe, lie has no connexion but an electioneering one, while with the county of Somerset, or indeed with any county whatever, we are given to understand, he has no connexion at all.—Times. The Reformers of Liverpool have invited Lord - Melbourne and Lord John Russell to a public dinner. We have seen the announcement with infinite pleasure. It is one which ouctht to fill the breast of every Re former with joy. We are sure it will overwhelm the Tories with despair. From our hearts do we pity those of them who are on the eve of eating Conser vative dinners. The hale idea of the Prime Minister and the Noble leader of the House of Commons being;invited to a public dinner in such a pl ace as Li verpoo l, and with the Mayor, too, of that important city in the Chair—the bare idea of this will deprive the unlucky wights of Tories, whose public dinners arc yet to be eaten, of all appetite. It would not surprise us if it do something still worse. It would be no subject of wonder to us should it seriously interfere with the di gestion of the huge quantities of eatables which have been gulped by the Conservatives at the dinners which have just taken place. At all events we may safely affirm that the mania for Conservative dinners will, from this moment, cease and determine. The simple announce ment of the fact, that the invitation to which we have just referred has been sent by the Reformers of Liverpool to the two Noble Lords in question, will annihilate all the projects which may be in contemplation for other Con servative feeds. may the beneficial results which we anticipate from the intended dinner to the Prime Mi nister and the Noble Secretary for the Home Depart ment, will net be of a merely negative kind. 'We feel all the confidence of entifb conviction when we say that most important positive results to the cause of reform will result from it. We doubt not that there will he a full and unreserved expression on the occa sion of the views and feelings of the most influential and intelligent city, the metropolis excepted, in the empire, on the great questions which at this moment engross the public attention. Above all, we hope and trust the opportunity which will be afforded of appri sing the noble guests of the real state of the public sentiment, with regard to the collision which now exists, between the two Houses of Parliament, will be gladly seized, and turned to the best account. The Noble Lords will learn more, from what passes before their eyes, and comes under the cognizance of their ears on such an occasion, as to the real opi nions of the people of England on the question of Peerage Reform, than they could learn from a month's unintermitting perusal of the newspapers. But the advantages to the cause of Reform which will result from the contemplated dinner will not end here. That dinner will operate most beneficially for the people of England in anoth er way. Other dinners to promote the interests of Reform will follow, as a matter of course, in various parts of the country. And in many places where the Reformers may not meet for festive purposes, they will assemble in much larger numbers than the expences and ceremonies consequent on a public dinner would allow, to take into consideration the best means of removing the obstruction s now in terposed to the completion of further Reforms. What we have so often and earnestly of late recodoubtmmendednot, the people of England to do, will now, we be well and speedily done. The demand for Peerage Reform will be forthwith embodied in the irresistible shape of the resolutions and petitions adopted at large assemblages. This will be found the right way o f going to work. The thanks of the country will be due to the Liverpool Reformers for giving an impulse and direction to the public mind on so momentous a question. Morning Advertiser. We are glad to see the influence of public opinion manifested, in the altered tone of those who were, but a short time ago, full of revolutionary fury against the House of Peers. The echoes have scarcely died away of the loud noise with which they threatened that the hereditary branch of the Legislature would be over borne by popular violence, if it did not give way to the representative branch ; but these threats failed of their effect. They doubly failed, for they neither deterred the House of Peers from the independent discharge of its constitutional duty, nor roused the populace, as it was evidently hoped they might do, to undertake that inter ference, which, if it succeeded at all, must have done so through a sacrifice of the peace and prosperity of the empire. They who so vehemently urged a revolution in the constitution of Parliament by fo rce , or b y a popular demonstration having the character of force, are com pelled by the state of the popular mind to speak in much more moderate terms. They admit the reluctance of the people to proceed to those lengths, which, but a short time ago, they insisted the people were eager to proceed to, and they now only contend that what they think proper to call a " reform" of the House of Peers is a fair subject for consideration and discussion. This is, ' indeed, a salutary change, and it should be a matter of public congratulation, that the " re-action," or whatever it should be called, towards rational and constitutional liberality, has taught those violent men who talk of " liberality," while they mean licenti ousness, that they must alter their tone in order to avoid becoming the objects of public contempt. We have no objection that the question of the political value of the House of Lords as it is, compared with what it might be expected to become under an altered system, should be made matter of fair and candid discussion. We should have, indeed, a very different opinion of that institution if we thought its merits could not be brought into legitimate discussion without injury to its stability, or to its present place in the good opinion of the public. Let the question be discussed, but let it be done with fairness and calmness. Let it be treated as a question whether or not a great alteration should be made in the British Constitution. Let it be con sidered as a question, the interest of which spreads itself over the whole scope of British Legislation and Government. But that sort of discussion, be it remem bered, will be very different from the irrational strain of invective with which, hitherto, the Ministerial oppo nents of the House of Lords have striven to carry their point. We must remind our readers of the mode of attack heretofore made on the House of Lords, that they may judge how great a change must take place before the discussion can be conducted on the broad constitutional ground which it is worthy to occupy. It happened that certain matters, involving the extreme points of party difference between the Ministers and the Opposition were embodied in Bills which, by small majorities, passed the House of Commons. These were matters in which Mr. O'Connell took a particular interest. They were not made Ministerial questions until that notorious person had become, from an angry opponent of the present Ministers, their most influential supporter. By his aid the small majority in their favour in the House of Commons was obtained. The Bills went to the House of Lords—that House appeared likely to take out of them those clauses which were carried in the Lower House as party triumphs, and the moment it did so, the cry for the overthrow of the Lords, as an inde pendent branch of the Legislature, began. It was, without any sort of argument upon the subject, assumed that the Bills as they passed the House of Commons ought to become the law of the land, and it was affirmed that if the House of Lords presumed to take a different view of the excellence of these Bills, the people would arise, and, by some means or another, compel that House to pass the Bills, or put it aside altogether, as wholly unfit to continue any longer in the exercise of legislative authority. Such was the reasonable mode of warfare which the Ministerial opponents of the Upper House of Parliament thought it not unbecoming to adopt, while there seemed to be a chance of popular support in such a mode of obtaining a political object. Expressed in general terms, the argument against the Peers was this—the representative branch of the Legis lature has come to certain conclusions, they ought therefore to become the law of the land. But the form of the Constitution is, that the aristocratic branch must also agree to these conclusions, before they can become law ; therefore, to comply with the form of the Consti tution you must violate the spirit of the Constitution, and your own independence and integrity besides, by agreeing to these conclusions, whether you approve of them or not, and, if you wiil not do this, the people shall rise up against you. We need not waste words in proving the iniquity and absurdity of such an appeal to the House of Lords as this. There must, in order to be successful, be some other ground of attack upon that House, than the assumption that their independent judgment must be dispensed with, coupled with the ad mission that their consent is necessary. If it can be shown that the judgment, the caution, the :nte, , rity, and the independence of the Lower House are sufficient t 3 secure salutary laws, and that the circumstances of the constitution of the Upper House, as well as the experience of times past, prove it to be hostile to the enactment of salutary laws, then it is time that the Con stitution of Great Britain were changed. But to say that the House of Lords is to be overthrown or altered merely because it does not agree with the House of Commons, is to beg the main question, and to assume that the House of Commons is certainly right, and the Upper House certainly wrong. We cannot leave this subject for the present without protesting against the false view which some Ministerial writers take of it, when they say it is a question whether the House of Lords shall have the absolute rule over the people. Such a statement seems to suppose that the whole body of the law, as it at present stands, is neither more nor less than the absolutism of the House of Peers. That House can make no new law, nor alter any existing law, without the consent of the House of Commons. The people therefore cannot become less free than they now are, by the continued existence of all the power which the Lords now exercise. The real absolutists are they who wish to make the fiat of the House of Commons have the force of law—the Peers have never sought for such extreme authority.—Morning Herald. I The literary champions of the Whig-Radicals have many qualities which logo might have enumerated as belonging to his character, but none more prominently than that negative one which lie ascribes to himself— they are " nothing if not critical." We are not sur prised at this, since it not only harmonizes with the general captiousnes s o f Whi ggis h di spos i t i ons , b ut i s the only thing in which they ever had anything re sembling permanent success with the public. Ever since the Edinburgh Review, by a certain briskness and bitterness, engaged the public attention, and ob tained some money, and a great deal of notoriety for those connected with it, the Whig mania for criticism has waxed stronger and stronger, and every Whig of them who wields a pen must employ it (in season or out of season) in the various modes of fault-finding with which the ungentle craft of factious criticism abounds. This was always offensive ; but never so ab surd as it has been since, in an evil hour for the poli tical destinies of Great Britain, the Whigs have been the party of the Government. Instead of maintaining the institutions of the empire, whichis the fit business of a Governm en t, th e y se t a b ou t reducing - their criti cal theories to practice ; and very soon found (as all rational persons well knew they must find) that such theories as theirs were not capable of being reduced to practice. The borough-loving reformers of the Edin burgh Review soon found themselves the framers of the borough-destroying Bill of 1831; and in every other particular, then, • and since, they have found that their previous Whiggery was an impossible thing. The more depraved and desperate of them fall into practical Radicalism, and the more conscientious step back into Conservatism. In Whiggery, as they had maintained it with so much critical zeal and asperity, there was no substance to stand upon—it was but a vain imagination. But they who have gone down the precipice into Radicalism have learned nothing salutary from their experience. Prodigious vanity and petty rancour are still their stock in trade, and though, in the posi tion of supporters, of the Government, we find them wholly unable to put forth anything like a decent de fence (even in form) of what it does, or what it omits to do, th ey are d r i ven to di rect an d f u l some adulation --revolting stuff, that disgusts thousands, and can de light no one, except it be those to whomit is ad dressed, and whose self-esteem blinds them to the nastiness of the mess of flattery p rov id e d for them. But th e chief occupation of these critical supporters of the Gove rn ment still i s t o fi n d f au lt ; an d t h e i r l a b ou rs are devid e d between t h e es t a bli s h e d an d constitu tional instit u ti ons of the coun t r y an d t h e Conserva tive Oppositi on , 0, by speeches or writings, make thro public their opinions ug out the kingdom. They are never done tellin g those w h o quest i on t h e capa bility of the Government to manage State affairs as ought to be mana ge d of theythe errors which they (the Conservatives) are themselve s; guilty of. One critic principles are very lectures us e tls u l for being s another for being illogical : uthat our • p dangerous, another that so, rrea then reasonings are very dull ; g; but suppose it to be what S uppose we are as illiberal as Mr. Hume is profound and eloquent, as illogical as Mr. Spring Rice is candid and straight forward—suppose we are as dangerous as Mr. O'Con- ►►ell is safe, and as dull as Lord Lansdowne is bril liant—all that will not make the Ministry a bit the better, or satisfy Europe that our affairs are not under the direction of conceited imbeciles. We should be glad if the Ministerial scribes would be pleased to lay aside their criticism for a season, and graciously con descend to inform us wherein the reputation of their patrons consists. We want to know from its own friends, what they think the present Ministry has done to deserve the confidence or the toleration of the public ; for we do profess, in all since rity, that we are utterly at a loss to imagine how a favourable case could be made out even by its own advocates. So wretched an Administration is this, that if its acts are to be examined, or if the charac ters of the individuals who compose it are to be exa mined by reference to these acts, we cannot imagine what pretence could be set up in its favour, or how an acknowledgment of the exceeding depth of its degra dation could be avoided. We should be most glad, therefore, if our very critical contemporaries would en lighten us. We should be obliged to them to show us the nature, the extent, and the practical working of Lord Palmerston's influence in Europe, and of Lord Melbourne's in the House of Parliament to which he belongs. Our contemporaries wrong us if they think ; we are incapable of being converted from the error of our political ways, even by demonstration, that we have been in the wrong. If they will only show us that the management of our Foreign Department has added to the influence and advanced the interests of Great Britain over the continent of Europe—that our Go vernment is respected, trusted, and feared, more than it used to be in " the palmy days of Toryism "—why, we shall confess that we have been mistaken ; but we never can have these comfortable views of our pre sent errors while Lord Palmerston defends his policy by attacks on those who think they see in it good rea son for blame. If it can be shown that Lord Mel bourne has indeed that kind of Parliamentary influ ence which it is becoming, if not necessary, for a Prime Minister to possess—or that, in lieu of numerical strength, he has personal respect, arising out of his calm, conciliatory, and yet independent bearing—we then shall feel that we have been in error respecting him, but we never shall be persuaded of that by the assurance that we are " illiberal " or " illogical." Nor are these the only personages in the Administra tion concerning whom he should be glad to have some satisfactory account from our most critical contempo raries. We want only some reasonable demonstration upon the subject to think that Lord Glenelg is a person of energy and activity, capable of managing so impor tant a department as that of our colonies : at present we have no reason to believe that he is so. We desire very much to learn what individual, or what body of men is satisfied with the intercourse they may happen to have had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer : at present we are ignorant that any such exists. We should like to know what British producer concerned in anything in which a foreign competition exists is well pleased with the President of the Board of Trade : at present we know none such. We should be glad to know who it is that admires Lord John Russell's leadership of the House of Commons, or who is ena moured of Lord Lansdowne's deputy leadership of the House of Lords : on these points we are also in a state of ignorance, from which it might be a good work on the part of the Whig-Radical prints to deliver us. We certainly doubt their ability to do what we think needful to the reputation of their Ministerial patrons ; but we are sure that, unless they can do something of this sort, they had better, so far as their patrons are concerned, do nothing. Their cri tical exploits injure their own cause.—Morning Post. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Board room of St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park Corner, before Mr. HIGGS, on the body of Thomas Frowd, aged 68. The deceased was a carpenter, and employed with several others upon the repairs which St. James's Church has been for some time past undergoing, and on the morning of Monday three weeks he went up to the second west gallery to get on the scaffold, where he was in the habit of working, but in place of crossing by a pl an k lik e th e o th er men , h at tempted to step from the rail of the gallery to the scaffold, but unfortunately he stepped short and fell into one of the pews beneath. Assistance immediately came to him and he exclaimed, " Oh, my God, my leg is broken." He was instantly put into a coach and conveyed to the Hospital. Mr. C. Ridout, the house surgeon of the Hospital, de posed that the deceased was brought there on the sth inst., labouring under a confirmed fracture of the right ankle-joint, with a small portion of bone also broken within the joint. He went on favourably till the 15th, when strong symptoms of lock-jaw set in, and everything that could be done was done for him ; but from want of nourishment, and the shock being too great for a man of his advanced years, he died on the 21st. Verdict—Accidental Death. Yesterday afternoon a coroner's inquest was taken be fore Mr. STIRLING, at the North London Hospital, on view of the body of George Constable, aged 24, a servant out of place, who committed suicide by taking laudanum. Mary Jenkins, housemaid to Mr. Elder, solicitor, No. 14, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, deposed that the deceased, who was in the service of her master, left it a few weeks ago. He was always very low spirited, and used to observe that he had something on his mind. She does not know on what account he was discharged. She never saw him in li quor. About half-past five on Tuesday afternoon last she heard that he was at a public house in Gloucester-street. He was in bed and in great agony. A doctor shortly after arrived, when witness left. She found three phials in the room, labelled " laudanum." Mr. J. Hugh Edwards, clerk to Mr. Elderton, here pro duced a packet which he found in a cupboard in Mr. El derton's house, of which the deceased had the key. The packet had not been opened. By directions of the Coroner it was opened,when it was found to contain several letters which he had addressed to a young woman with whom he had formed an attachment. A quantity of duplicates were also exhibited, which Mr. Edwards said were pledges of property belonging to Mr. Elderton, and which had been pledged for 1/. 165., one article of which, namely, a silver fish slice, was worth 41. There were many articles almost of equal value. On open ing one of the letters a lock of another female's hair was found enclosed. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." - - SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The insolvency of this party had arisen from his having accepted accommodation Bills of Exchange, for his late master, a builder, and who was now " sojourning in the Fleet prison." ,The Learned Chief COAIMISSIONER. lectured him on the folly of his conduct, and the inevitable ruin that must at tend the system into which he had plunged. It was (he said), worse than foolish to accept bills to accommodate a " friend." It was dishonest when the party could not take them up. The Insolvent promised amendment and was discharged. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Mary Jones, aged 46, and Mathew Feaks, aged 37, were indicted for conspiring together to entice two young females from the residence of their parents, for an unlawful purpose. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, some witnesses were called, who gave Feaks a good character for honesty and decency during the last ten years. Mr. BULLOCK proceeded to reply, when Mr. Justice BOSANQUET interposed, and said that the real question was, whether the girls, the Vales, had visited London, and had gone to Jones's house, believing that they were about to be conducted to a respectable employment. If the jury were not perfectly satisfied of this fact, and if they thought that the girls were in any way cognizant of the description of the mode of life to which they were about to be introduced, they must be acquitted on the charge of conspiracy. A verdict of guilty, however, must pass against the female on the counts charging her with keeping a com mon brothel, for that fact was sufficiently proved by the evidence of the witnesses called for the defence. Mr. BULLOCK said that he could of course offer no oppo sition to the acquittal of the defendants of the charge of conspiracy, after the observations of his Lordship. The only object which he, on behalf of the city of London, had had in view was to secure full justice being done to all the parties implicated. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET remarked that there was un fortunately too good cause to believe that Feaks had em ployed some degree of deception to the girls originally, but, on the evidence which had been adduced, a conspiracy could not be said to have been proved. A verdict of Guilty was then returned against Jones on the 9th and 10th counts, which charged that she had kept a common brothel and a disorderly house ; and Feaks was acquitted. Mr. CLARKSON suggested to his Lordship that it was usual in cases where persons were convicted of maintaining brothels that the judgment of the court should be respited, and on the person's giving up the house it was not cus tomary to inflict any punishment. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET thought that the present was not an ordinary case, and the practice did not therefore apply. He should at present say nothing on the subject of the punishment. The case occupied the attention of the court from ten minutes past eleven o'clock in the morning until a few minutes after nine o'clock at night. NEW COURT. James King was indicted for stealing 102 dozen of glass beer and wine bottles, the property of J. Richards and Co., his employers ; and Joseph Tame, and James Smith, his servant, were charged with receiving the same, well know ing them to have been stolen. W. C. Barker, a policeman, on the 14th of the present month, saw the prisoner driving a van containing twelve pretties of bottles. When he got to the end of Goodman's yard, Minories, the prisoner pulled up, and took one of the full pretties and conveyed it to the stable of Tame, who lives in that yard. The prisoner Smith received it, and gave an empty prettle in return. When the prisoner got into the van, he took a portion of bottles out of each prettle, and put them into the empty one, so as to make it appear as though he had brought twelve packages from the wharf. Witness followed the van to the prosecutor's, to whom he communicated what he had seen, and the prisoner was given in custody. [Mr. C. Phillips was addressing the Judges in the Old Court with such vehemence, that the Recorder ordered the doors and windows to be closed, otherwise, his Lordship said, we shall hear the wrong speech.] Mr. J. Smith, one of the prosecutors, went to Tame's house, and took him into custody. He was asked respect ing the bottles in question. He denied all knowledge of them. Upon search being made, a great quantity were found there, which he knew to be his own property. - - - By the RECORDER—The old fashion quart wine bottle is not much in fashion now.—(Laughter.) Several witnesses were called for Tame, one of whom said, " This is the worst thing I ever heard of him."— (Laughter.) The RECORDER summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended them to mercy. The RECORDER then sentenced them to seven years' transportation. DISCHARGE OF THE GRAND JURY.—At seven o'clock the Grand Inquest came into Court, and presented severa l bills. The Recorder then, after thanking, discharged them POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. Yesterday Abraham, Belasco, a Jew, once somewhat celebrated in what is called the prize ring, was brought before ,THOMAS HALLS, Esq., for the purpose of putting in sureties to keep the peace for two years, according to the sentence passed upon him by the late Chairman of the Middlesex Sessions for a misdemeanour. The prisoner, with his wife, were brought here about two years and a half ago, upon a very serious charge. Bail was ordered to be given for their appearance to take their trial at the Sessions. Mrs. Belasco did appear, and was con victed, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment in the House of Correction ; but he absconded from his bail, and remained " out of the way," until he was found in a gambling booth on Doncaster Race-course by Ledbitter, the officer of this. establishment, who brought him in custody to London, and he was convicted at the Sessions, and sen tenced to be imprisoned for two years, and at the expiration of that time to find sureties for his good behaviour for two years, himself in 2001., and two sureties in 1001. each. When brought in by two officers of the House of Cor rection, the alteration in his appearance struck every one who had seen him before his imprisonment with astonish ment. He was then a remarkably stout and robust-looking man, weighing, at a moderate calculation, from fourteen to fifteen stone ; he was now dwindled to a mere shadow, and looked the very picture of wretchedness and misery, both in a mental and bodily point of view. He was almost childish in his manner, and would be taken to be between sixty and seventy years of age, although we believe he has scarcely passed his fortieth year. Bail having been put in, Belasco stepped forward, and begged in a very respectful tone",and manner to be allowed to say a' few words. Mr. HALLs—I will hear anything you wish to say. Belasco—l acknowledge, Sir, tliat I have acted very wrong, and that I have indeed been a bad man. I have for two years endured suffering and privations of a dread ful kind to me ; but I have had time to think and reflect upon my former mode of life. I hope God will forgive me, and I only speak to your Worship for the purpose of assuring you that my imprisonment has worked a thorough reform in me ; and, if my life should be spared, no living being shall ever have occasion to complain of a wrong act on my part. The prisoner appeared greatly affected when he had con cluded his address to the Magistrate. He then retired, and after entering into the necessary recognizances in the clerk's office be was again taken into custody by two sheriff's officers on an Exchequer writ for the amount of his recognisance, which he forfeited by ab sconding from his bail at the time he retreated to Doncas ter. He was carried off to Whitecross-street as a debtor to the King in the sum of 401. HAT T ON-GARDEN. Thomas Roberts, a Lilo w attired as a groom, was brought up, charged by Dr. Edward Thomas, of No. 24, Charterhousc-square, with having stolen two cloaks and a great coat. The prisoner said nothing, and was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Ada Andrews, a showy young woman, was yesterday brought before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged with having rob bed a gentleman of seven .5/. Bank of England notes, two sovereigns, and a diamond breastpin. When the charge was heard, the prosecutor was not in attendance, and the . prisoner was asked to explain the cir cumstance. She said she met with the gentleman in a public-house, and he accosted her, and after some conver sation they went in a cabriolet together to St. James's. place. They did not alight, but drove back again to ano ther public-house, when the ge n tl eman l e ft her, having previously given her his shirt pin to take care of. She bad retired to bed about a quarter of an hour, when sho was called up by a police-officer, who told her she was charged with robbery. The gentleman, she said, had treated a number of persons, male and female, in the public-house, and it was not unlikely that his pocketbook had been taken by some of them. The girl's story having anair of plausibility about it, Mr. Chambers appeared 'paned to discharge her, provided no one appeared within a short time against her. The gentleman, however, entered the office before the time had expired. He was a fine dashing young man, dressed in the very first style of fashion. The accused was again placed at the bar, and the case entered into. The prosecutor, George Edwards, Esq., No. 4, 0 : - ,, 10 " Belgrave-street, said he went to the the atre, an thence accomyanied a frond to singing club. A' t hour he parted from his friend, and walked up the 1-48 e .' c i market homewards. Being hailed by a cabman, ht",n sre be to ride, provided the cabman could take him whe t !. v . change a sovereign. The cabman took him to a lug ° house, and after the change was obtained, prosecutor treated every one in the public-house. - The prisoner per: suaded him to leave the house in her company, and he r into the cab and drove some distance, and then bathen we pt when the woman suddenly left his company. .s into the public-house, and on putting his hand into his pocket, he discovered that his pocket-book , containing 471., and a memorandum book had been stol en. He °ell. tioned the loss, and the cabman immedia tel y procured a When policeman, and went and apprehended the prisoner. the woman was brought to the station, she handed h i. shirt-pin to him, which, till that moment he was not awar e had Mr been CHAMBE P taken from his Yhan l dke e p i o r d ch d c ief. " Prosecutor—Oh, R in m r ) a topcoat i Mr. CHAMBERS—HOW could you be so inc autious :erykoetu. keep your money ? as to carry such a large sum of money in such a careless mew; nor ? Why do you not put your purse in your breece. pocket ? Prosecutor—l've no pockets in t hat garmeel I suppose it's not the fashion to have them. A coalheaver, one of the individuals who had participated; in the prosecutor's over night bounty, came forward On said, My Lord, I vas a driving my team to the v orf Yen this here gemmen werry perlitely invited me to hav e a drain.

MARYLEBONE. Charles Beds, a young man of decent appearance, de scribed as a mechanic, was charged with being found it 11: house of Miss Laura Washington, No. 5, SalisburrPlae New-road, for an unlawful purpose. Complainant, a fashionably attired female, about tweptici three years of age, stated, that herself, her m other , l e. another lady, occupied the house, and kept only one 0 male servant. On the previous night, about half-Past e k o'clock, fancying there was some other person in the t kitchen where the servant slept besides the maid , she dent down and knocked at the door, and immediately al, heard a great bustle inside.
